Ads ruined it
Used to use this app a lot. Now ads appear every time I launch it and there’s no way to close them. Completely unusable.
Developer offered ad-free access but this page in the App Store says there are no IAP and the Remove Ads button just generates more ads. Ironically, almost all the ads are for other Sudoku games.

Response from developer
Hi! Thanks a lot for your review; we offer a one-time in app purchase to get rid of ads for good. This supports indie devs like us to keep the updates (and new features) coming. All the best! Edit: Apple had some issues with the App Store in recent days; we’re about to fix this. Could you please check again in a few days? You’re right - this shouldn’t be happening.
Broken
Can’t play a single game without getting an ad that can’t be closed. I tried to restore my purchase to remove the ads, but it doesn’t do anything. I even tried to pay again to remove ads and it won’t let me. Just straight up genuinely unplayable.
Parfait
Pas trop de publicités très agréable, un bon divertissement !
No way to get out of the ads
I’ve been enjoying this game for the most part. Sudoku is the ONLY game I have any interest in playing. The ads on this are very hard to get out of. Now I have an ad that will only allow me to download another game. If I have to download something I have no interest in, I’m out. I’m deleting this game.

Great game
I love that I’m not forced to have harder and harder levels and I can pick which level of challenge or fun I want.
great until recently
I've had this game on my phone for nearly a decade if not longer and it has been a go-to staple when I need to destress and regulate a bit.
Unfortunately it recently has started spamming me with ads in between games, and I could've swore I paid for this (or for no ads) at some point. Please remove ads and it would be great again. Also a personal preference, I would love more options of an all black background grid.

A classic
I purchased this app 7 years ago and it was absolutely worth it. It’s a great way to play the game, highly customizable, keeping the game fresh
Ads are totally annoying
I’ve been playing this game since it came out in 2017, and it WAS my favorite. I liked it enough to pay to remove the annoying ads years ago. It was a one time purchase, not a subscription. Now, I’m getting ads again. If you click on app support, it just opens the game without allowing you to tell the developer you have a problem. The cost to remove the ads has gone up to $7.99 and I shouldn’t have to pay it again.
The links didn’t work, but the developers responded to an email and restored my purchase. I planned to revise my review from one star to five, but I discovered my one star was ALREADY changed to five. That’s questionable.
I’m satisfied by their attention to my issue, and this game deserves a five review.

Ads that fail to close
Game is supported by ads which is whatever, but the ads are a video that runs a full minute and then it goes into one of those fake game ads and it doesn’t end unless you actually finish the game, and you’re not allowed to do more Sudoku until you complete at least one full cycle of these ads. Just to make it more “fun,” on a lot of the ads the X to close it just never appears, and you have to restart the whole cycle back at the beginning.

Are you joking with these ads?
Overnight this game has become unplayable because of ads that will not leave the screen and cannot be dismissed. You’ve gotta be joking.
Now With Unwelcome Ads?
Suddenly this app I paid for has ads. Not happy about this at all.
Developer quickly responded. Just a bug. Back to loving this app!

Adds????!
I have been playing this game for YEAARS. I have completed over 4800 Sudoku boards since I started playing. Now I have adds on my screen, out of the blue. What the HECK????? I am
Not paying to have them removed. I will simply delete the app and move on. Thanks.

Restore purchases not functional
I have paid for this app to be ad free, and yet I am being subjected to awful ads, despite me “restoring purchases”
操作に難あり
間違えて入力した数字を消す、消しゴムの機能がありません。どうすれば、解けると言うのでしょう。
Response from developer
ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません！ご安心ください、消しゴム機能はございます。 ゲームには2つのプレイモードがあります。ミステイクモードでは、間違った数字を入力すると自動的にはじかれるため、消しゴムは不要です。クラシックモードをご利用の場合は、消しゴム機能がご使用いただけます。数字の9の後に丸で囲まれた「＋」マークがあり、その一番下に「消しゴム」と表示されています。また、盤面上部には「元に戻す」ボタンもございます。 設定からモードをご確認の上、ぜひお試しください！ 次回お困りの際は、hello@hoolatronstudios.com までメールをお送りください。通常数時間以内にご返信いたします。
Games are good, but fix your ads
App can be borderline unusable as you turn sound off and the loudest ads start blaring out (even going through mute settings on the app). I can’t continue playing it unless this changes.
Response from developer
Hiya! Thanks for your input; unfortunately, not all advertisers abide by certain rules - but we’re trying to weed them out as much as we can. Could you send us an email to hello@hoolatronstudios.com please with a screenshot of the offender? Thank you!
My Fave
Updated: I figured out how to turn the music off… now I love it.
I really like this version of sudoku, but I can’t figure out how to turn the music off… I’m a silence kind of person!

Exceptionnel !
Il s’agit de loin de la meilleure application de ce genre avec tous les paramètres qu’un adepte des Sudoku est en droit d’attendre le tout sans publicité intrusive agaçante. Bravo !
Needs explanations for hints
Great app with one omission: when you ask for a hint, it really needs to give the next solvable square and explain the rule,so you can learn.
Lower ad removal price
Literally title. $8 is outrageous. Id pay like $3 but cmon $8. Lower it and ill pay for it hoe$
The Ads are Ridiculous
This game has no business having this volume of ads, especially ones that make you play the game while you wait and have you exit out of the. exact. same. ad. just to get to the new game. Completely stupid.
